for the gauges im sure its a pita. i removed the green film behind my hvac and shifter, but just went with a mach 1 cluster since they dont have any film, just the white reverse side. here is the write up from AM showing how to put on reverse glow gauges http://www.americanmuscle.com/mustan...es-how-to.html take note that your cluster wont have the screws to remove the lens over the gauges, they are plastic welds, making this even harder to do.

yeah i wish ford would have just kept the blue film and the screwed in lens idea. much easier to deal with and change the color to blue if someone wants. oh well

here's how it looks with the cool white
what gauge cluster is this?

definitely not a v6 cluster. a 99-00 gt cluster will have the blue film also

In his guide he says "The gauge cluster and HVAC controls you will see in the following pictures or the first pictures are not aftermarket, not reverse-glo, not special edition or anything else. My gauge cluster and HVAC controls are the ones that were installed in my car from the factory." But I think that's a TOTAL lie...

I think it's actually a White Face Gauge Cluster that you can find here:
http://www.americanmuscle.com/mustan...it-9904v6.html

also because my gauge's are black, and my numbers go in 10's: 10,20,30.. his goes in 20's: 20,40,60...

I think maybe he just bought it that way and thought it was stock? I've never seen a Mustang with that gauge stock.

^ I mean I've never seen a New Edge mustang with speedo in increments of 20 on stock, I know the s197's do that stock for the retro feel

i cant find any stock gauges from 94-04 that have a redline of 7k. some of the sn95 cobras come close, but they are white faced. the mach 1 also comes close but the numbers look way different than that. hmm roush or saleen?
